Hello, my name is Mike, and I’m a recovering political junkie. Yes, it’s true, I admit it. Like countless others before me, I was of the naïve assumption that I could change the world for the better through political activism. That, somehow, by participating in the democratic process, I could help to improve the lives of...

". . . I remember my mother wrapping a blanket around me and my pretending to fall asleep so she would be happy, though I was so excited I couldn't sleep. I hear there were people herded into the Hastings Park like cattle. Families were made to move in two hours. Abandoned everything, leaving pets and possessions at gun point . . . ....

What do you get when you combine a corrupt cop, an omnipotent government police task force that is accountable to none, and oppressive drug laws that deny citizens their basic civil liberties? Dozens of innocent people imprisoned essentially for no reason, for allegedly doing harm to nobody but themselves. Who would ever expect such a miscarriage of justice to occur in...

‘‘To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.’’ ~ George Mason
Pesident Bush’s pledge to extend the ban on semiautomatic assault weapons has gun owners up in arms. The White House announcement came as a surprise to N.R.A. leaders and membership, who were stunned at the decision. Although the original...

Though an ardent jazz aficionado, I was not...
